HINTS ON IRONING.
Reliable Information Relating to This DIM

cult Part of Laundry Work.
Every hOusekeeper should acquaint
herself with the general rules necessary
for ironing. 1t is difficult to give di-
rections how to iron well, as experience
is the best teacher, but there are several
things to be observed in doing the work
to which strict attention must be given.
A strong table of suitable size, and u
light ironing board, also a bosom board
should be provided. Irons of three
sizes are convenient, and should always
be kept clean, and smooth; ashes, salt
or brick dust are good to clean irons,
and wax rubbed occasionally on them
will serve to keep them in good order.
The sheets and table linens should be
ironed first, then the shirts. First iron
the shirt all over, wringing a clean
cloth out of warm water, and rub over
the bosom, which should be rapidly
gone over with clean hot iron, then
the plaits should be raised and ironed
again, then danh)ened with water or
polish, and ironed with polishing iron.
Fine thin dresses, or other soft articles
that do not need polishing, should be
ironed on D soft blanket. Embroideries
should be ironed on the wrong side.
Always have near bowl of clean
wNter so any spot imperfectly ironed
may be dampened and ironed over I'M
til smooth. Ladies Home Journal.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

-"Sandpaper' is now made without
either sand or paper. Glass is pulver-
lied and sifted on muslin. which has
been covered with a coating of glue 1t
Is better and more durable than the
.old-fashioned sandpaper-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.
Almost everywhere coal must be
brought up from great depths, as the
coal-measures are often covered by the
secondary and even tertiary strata. The
coal-measures of the United States are
not generally so deep as those of En-
gland. States occur usually among
rocks still older than the coal-measures.

According to the report Of the Ne
braska Horticultural Society the State
has now about 250, 900 acres of growing
forests, in which have been set 600, 0OO,-
600 young trees. Besides these there
have been planted over 100000 fruit
trees, over 2,50O,O0o grape vines, vast
number of berry bushes and plants, and
countless quantities of ornamental
shrubs.
On the Transcaspian railroad in
Russia, it is claimed that a saving of
$500 per mile is effected by the use of
mineral wax, or ozokerite, for ties
When purified, melted and mixed with
limestone and gravel, the ozokerite,
which is abundant in the vicinity OF the
railroad, produces very good asphalt.
This is pressed into shape in boxes; and
gives ties which retain their form and
hardness even in the hottest weather.
The Lewiston (Me.) Journal gives
some statistics that afford an indication
of the extent of the lobster industry
The average catch of Holsters on the
Maine coast has been 14,000,000 yearly
sor thirty years, or nearly 100000 600
during that period. About 100000
have been used by the factories at an
average cost of one cent each. Doubt
less they have paid $2,000,000 to the
fishermen. The marketmen have paid
$1,000, 900 more to- the lobster catchers
in the last thirty years.
The Prince of Monaco has been oc-
cupying his spare time in scientific
manner. He has been studying the
speed of ocean currents by means of a
series of experiments made from the
deck of his yacht, the Hirondelle. Be-
fore the close of the summer he sub
merged 500 bottles off the coast of the
Channel in the latitude of Paris, and
some of them have already been found
on the coast of Portugal. The Prince
hopes to be able to find out, by the time
Of the arrival of the bottles on the dis
tant coasts, the minimum force of the
currents, scientific problem hitherto
unsolved.
1t is a remarkable fact, to which at
tention has recently been called by the
English scientific journal, Nature, that
the lowest barometrical measurement
ever observed anywhere in the world on
land, after being reduced 50 as to cor
respond with sca-level, have been regis
tered in the British Isles within three
years. One of these was at Belmullet,
in the west of ireland, on December g.,
1881, when the barometer fell to nearly
twenty-seven inches. A very severe
storm followed, destroying many lives
and much property.

A Story From Chicago.

The woman who remarked that with
one servant your household work is
done, with two it is half done, and with
three you have to do it yourself, doubt
less thought she had said neat thing.
But, according to gentleman of Chi
cago, electricity is the only satisfactory
domestic servant. He has fitted up his
house with electrical apparatus that does
every thing. 1t wakens him in the
morning. After that all he has to do is
to press knobs. With one pressure the
fire is lighted, and on goes the Hottie;
with another his hot water is sent up
stairs. Electric scrubbing brushes keep
every thing nice and clean, and an
electric page-boy opens the door for
callers and the mornings milk.-Phila-

AIRING ROOMS.
The Necessity of Purifying the Air in Dwell
ings and Workshops.


1t is great mistake that the whole
house, particularly the sleeping-rooms
and dining-rooms, receive so little at
ton in ventilating and purifying the
air, when it can be done with so little
trouble and no expense A pitcher of
cold water placed on a table or bureau
will absorb all the gases with which the
room is filled from the respiration of
those eating or sleeping in the apart
ment. Very few realize now important
such publication is for the health of the
family, or. indeed, understand or real
ize that there can be any impurity
in the rooms, yet in u few hours a
pitcher or pail of cold water, the colder
the more effective, will make the air OF
room pure, but the water will be en-
tirely unfit for use.
In bedrooms a pail or pitcher of
water should be always kept, and
changed often if any one stays in the
room during the day, certainly be put
in fresh when the inmates retire. Such
water should never be drank, but either
a covered pitcher or glass bottle with
stopper should be used for drinking
water, and always be kept closely COW
cred. Impure water causes more sick
ness than even impure air, and, for
that reason, before using water from
pump for reservoir for drinking or
cooking, one should pump or draw out
enough to clear the pipes before using
it, particularly in the morning, after
the water has been standing in the
pipes all night. Boston Budget.

Darn a Wasp"

A Norwich naturalist who was out
for birds, one day last summer, be-
came imbued with the Napoleonic idea
that he could route a whole colony of
wasps at a blow. He was not long in
finding a stone and putting it through
their paper nest, and the wasps were
not long in finding him. They first
tickled him over the left eye, and so
absorbed his attention that he could
not tell where the rest struck him.
His legs and arms worked like the bars
in thrashing machine, and he rolled
on the earth like an ant-eater assailed
by bees When he thought he had
rolled three miles he felt himself drop
several feet, and then he struck a
stump and stopped. For moment
he couldn't decide what to do. He
couldn't tell whether it were better to
be still or get up. One eye was entire
~ out of use, but he cautiously I'M
covered the other eye and viewed his
surroundings. He was pocketed be-
tween an offset wall and a tree, and
the wasps had not been able to follow
his trail. He was not looking for
them. He felt that home would be
more congenial to him, and went at
once. But he carried an eye with him
that no one looked upon with envy.
The infamed eyelid protruded like a
gall upon an oak leaf, and had more
fire in it than a toy pistol. He hasn't
had time 20 investigate to see what
became of the wasps. He hasn't had
time yet to make that eye look re-
spectacle. But he has thought little
upon the subject of wasps, and says:
Darn a wasp! See it, but never try
to 90 it one better! For you can't!'-
